According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, “He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;

And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s.

Stewards of the Mysteries of God

Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last, as men condemned to death; for we have been made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.

But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Glorify God in Body and Spirit

All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.

Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?

For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

For I wish that all men were even as I myself. But each one has his own gift from God, one in this manner and another in that.

But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace.

Live as You Are Called

But as God has distributed to each one, as the Lord has called each one, so let him walk. And so I ordain in all the churches.

Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.

Brethren, let each one remain with God in that state in which he was called.

But she is happier if she remains as she is, according to my judgment—and I think I also have the Spirit of God.

But if anyone loves God, this one is known by Him.
